CHANDIGARH: In a major setback to thousands of candidates selected for the post of clerk in Haryana through the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC) in 2020, the Punjab and Haryana high court has directed the HSSC to revise the merit list. With this, around 4,800 clerks working in various departments of the state would be affected.
The order has been passed by the HC after observing discrepancies in the answers to the question paper conducted by the commission for the examination. The court also censured the chief examiner of the HSSC for such discrepancies.
